2020 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250-4M

The vehicle is listed as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of “WATER/FLOOD.” These are unverified auction claims. Stage 1 reports that the available exterior, interior, and dashboard photos show no visible horizontal tide line, water staining, silt or mud residue, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion associated with flooding. Stage 1 further reports that no visible evidence supports the unverified flood or water claim. The instrument cluster is illuminated and displays multiple warning indicators; therefore, it cannot be considered clean counter-evidence of the vehicle’s electronic condition. No specific damage findings were provided in the supplied data. The VIN decodes as a Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class sedan, with the CLA250-4M trim designation, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 221 horsepower, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Hungary and is configured as a left-hand-drive, five-passenger sedan with 18-inch wheels. Physical inspection and comprehensive testing of the electrical, electronic, mechanical, and safety systems are strongly recommended, particularly in view of the salvage flood designation and the dashboard warning indicators.
